Thread: 2017 Tuatara UTV - Any feedback

The brother in law has had canam, polaris, some other oddball brand and they all were a bloody disappointment to be fair. Hes now got a Honda and a little Farmworker ute - that thing is bloody gold. Covered in cab, quiet, heater for winter, comfortable and pretty stable all things considered but it is taller than the sxs equivalents. The benefit of the farmworker is the parts come from anywhere and are pretty much all automotive-type parts not name brand sxs at huge $$$$. Servicing and maintenance on the little ute is way cheaper and easily done on the farm by him, it's basically the same as a little Jimny as far as servicing if it have it right, been a while since we talked about it. His one has a tipping deck and lockable diff/part time 4x4 so pretty much as good as the sxs for soft terrain and rough areas, but I would be a bit more careful about sidling etc just with the taller ride height. That does give you good ground clearance and entry/departure/ramp angles though. He's got it on ATV feet so no issue with grip, and probably lighter than the sxs's. Commonly found second hand at around the $$ mentioned too. As far as the sxs - the vote for unkillable goes to the Kubota's as they are damn near indestructible, it appears to be metal cancer and wiring issues that gets them in the end.
